Things that make me happy....

This is going to be a post all about me bragging. So if you don't want to read it I won't get my feelings hurt in the least.
First I want to brag about my kids. They are great! We did a FHE on 72 kits and how the prophet told us to do it now. I gave them each a pillow case and had them run for whatever they needed to live on for 3 days in 5 minutes. Kailin brought her blanket and 2 outfits. It doesn't hurt that that is how her clothes are arranged. Brynlee came with a binkie. Trey came with clothes for 3 days, juice, marshmallows, and capri suns. Shaylee had a little more. Basically she would be fine if she only drank BBQ sauce and ate pineapple. Yuck! So after that we sat down and went through everything. We took stuff from our shelves and we now have 72 hour kits put together. They ARE NOT perfect, but we have something. Yeah!

Next I am bragging about myself. I got a cool key chain. Yes, that means I have lost 10% of my BMI. I only have 1 lb to go until I am at goal. With the 4th of July coming and my mother-in-laws potato salad. I am hoping to make it!

Ok-So now that I am done bragging I feel a lot better. I hope you all have a great 4th!

I was looking at The Johnson family blog, and the BIG question is "How does Marsha keep getting younger?"

Great FHE idea and I love the K could live with just her clothes. That is so her!

That is great! I am so happy for you. Also, what a great idea for FHE. We need to get ours together, I may steal your idea. LOL. We have some things, just not all of it & not in one place, so I guess that isn't really a 72 hr kit if you have to hunt all over the house for the stuff when you need it. Huh? Hmmmmm..........
